Don't Believe The Hype

                          Debate One   Romney Vs. President Barack Obama

   October 3rd 2012 ushered in the first of three Presidential Debates. The event took place at Denver University. The stage was set and the battle ensued. The titans clashed. When the smoke finally
  cleared the podium stage, the news media hailed Mitt Romney as the
winner. They said Obama missed an opportunity on the 47 percent statement of Romney an failed on other issues to excite a  blood thirsty salivating audience.
     This was the amptheatre in Rome, the Friday Night Fights, The Thrilla in Minila the playoffs to the
Superbowl of Debates.
      Romney came out swinging and styling with a bit hype. The Pres. was cool, calculating and reserve; some say he was doing the Rope-A Dope.
      This was not the first time the critics were harsh on the President for being soft. During his first year of Battles with the Republicans, the press criticized the Pressident for not being more aggressive. They wanted him to change his style loose his smile, grit and get tough and have some attiude.
   This was suppose to be the night to remember. The anticipation was at full throtlle for some........ Obama...Drama..... But Obama's behavior was non combative. The Champ never showed up, according to the critics, but wait...
     What about the facts the truth nothing but the whole truth. "Well..." While Romney waged a furious flurry of lies, 27 lies in 38 minutes according to the fact checkers, the President refuted. The President was cordial and mild while he deliniated the facts with great detail, but where was the fire. Perhaps his mind was on Michelle after all this was their 20th year of marriage, their Wedding anniversity night.
. And at the very beginning he addressed that fact and expressed his love for Michelle before the whole country. His first words were for his wife, a declaration of love and then on with the business at hand.
     Who do you think won the debate?
 A caller to WURD Radio made a very astute statement. He said there were no winners or losers in the debate. He said the winner will be decided on election day. I agree.
   My advice is don't believe the hype.

Who Stole America?

          Who Stole America?

A thousand dollar reward for information leading to the capture or arrest of the entity or entities, person or persons who stole America.
      I asked a leading Democrat who immeadiately told me this was his America and he had no idea that it had been stolen.  So I'm sure it wasn't him. I'm sure he would know if someone stole it from him.  I spoke to a Republican who said he wants his taxes cut and had feelings about the leadership of the country but said he was not the thief. Then I heard some Teaparty members along with other sympathizers and even a few Blacks, seeeking acceptance...... chanting we want Our country back.
       Now please tell me who stole America?
Surely not Ali Baba and his forty thieves. And it wasn't  Osama Bin Laden he was to busy hiding.
    Who would have had the audacity and tenacity to steal America?
 Possibly it could have been some Philadelphia or New York crackheads who can get very creative when their habit arises.
   Have you seen anyone lately, running around with the American continent on their shoulders.
If you do please report the incident immediately.
     Past Presidents, populace and previous administrations never expressed this type of grief or expeirenced such an atmosphere of loss.
     Now of course not many politicians: Democrat, Republican, Independent, Teaparty or any other group are exempt from the possibilty of these feelings of victomiciation. Secretly we all have our thoughts. That being said, I am puzzled over the matter. And would like to ask the Question once again ( to anyone who can give me an answer)...........................Who Stole America?

The Nitty Gritty

What happens in November may well be the turning piont of... U.S history. We should all want to be on the right side of History.
Whats the right side?... you ask.
I'm glad you did.

   The choices are simple. The rich and big business continue getting richer while refusing to pay any additional well need taxes. Instead, they allow the poor to bare the burden, struggling with the minimum wage of 8.50 to 9.50 hourly while they make staggering profits. Their goals to wipeout Obama Health Care, change Medicare and Social Security cut welfare programs for the poor, make it more difficult for the opposition to vote, charge outrageous Utility rates, cut education funds while increasing funds for prisons, slowly eliminate  arts, music and intramural sports from our high sThis is it. The time is now. We must excercise our right to vote. We are now down to the real Nitty Grichools, cut social programs for the poor,  lack of funding for recreation centers etc.


          The President Obama wants to increase social and economic programs for the masses, increase healthcare for the severely disadvantaged. Advance in the fields of Science and Technology, such as Solar Energy

reduction of the use of fossil fuel oil, while advocating the advancement of electric hybrid vehicles. Save failing industries, increase employment, pump money into the economy for more jobs, in repairing bridges and highways and so many other areas to advance this Nation.
     
   As community activist he is was and is aman for the people.
   You decide on what you think is the right side of history. Its time to get down....
 Its Nitty Gritty time.

Coltrane House Friday April 13th 2012







April 13th 2012 John Coltrane House

Philly Music Scene

On Friday April 13th 2012 there was a commemoration of John Coltrane at the Coltrane House at 1611 North 33rd street in North Philadelphia. I was there to witness and be apart of that event.
      Once a year the event is staged by gathering all the Philadelphia area Jazz Musicians together for a group photograph. This scenerio took place in New York years ago with many of the jazz greats, and continues to be a regular event.
  Odean Pope, Warren Ore, Leon Mitchell, Lucky Thompson, Sam Reed were just a few of the many
greats and dignitaries on hand. Charlie Rice a former member of the John Coltrane Band was there to recieve and award from Mayor Michael Nutter. Charlie Rice Looked amazing at 92 years old. When he first arrived on the scene he had an attractive young lady on his arm and no where did I see a cane or a crutch. He walked slowly but surely.
  Philadelphia's youth Jazz Musicians performed from the youngest to the teenagers. The youth or the young lions will soon be replacing the greats who have passed on thru the eternal equinox.
